The intragroup difference in the score was highly significant.

The probability of EBF by mothers with a college education or less (OR 2.3, 95% CI 1.3-4.3, p=0.007) and mothers who are unemployed (OR 2.5, 95% CI 1.4-4.9, p=0.002) were highly significant.

Surprisingly, it also showed an increasing trend over time since the completion of radiotherapy (Figure 1 ).
